We know it's only November but Halloween is over, which means it's officially time for people to start A) fixating on Christmas or B) getting extremely cross with the people fixating on Christmas.

And one of the true signs that Yuletide is upon us is the John Lewis Christmas advert, which is just around the corner.

There are two key things about the advert. Firstly, there's finding out whatever anthropomorphised thing they've chosen to base the whole thing on in an attempt to make your mum cry (with the exception of the old man plonked on the moon).

Then there's the classic song that will soundtrack the whole thing, and which indie artist will be chosen to cover the thing in the obligatory melancholy way.

We can't help you out with the former, but as of today we know what song to expect from this year's advert, and that is Randy Crawford's '80s track 'One Day I'll Fly Away'.

London electro band Vaults will be in charge of covering the track, and they have a big job on their hands.

'One Day I'll Fly Away' has been famously covered by Nicole Kidman in the Moulin Rouge movie, while Girls Aloud's Kimberley Walsh also released a version of the song. Iconic, tbh.

But who are Vaults?

Well, they've already featured on the soundtrack for Fifty Shades of Grey with 'One Last Night' but are yet to release an album, which fits into John Lewis's preference for more unknown acts.

They have released two EPs, though. 2014's 'Vultures' and 2015's 'Cry No More'.
